No Max it was red before you finished the lap
F1 2024 Season

Actually the Red Flag came after his lap
watching Sky it said red flag almost immediately, well that’s what I thought.
Yeah I stand corrected.
Yeah he completed his lap before the Red Flag which is why it was initially on the board. But he probably ignored a double yellow so could be in trouble
i reckon max kept his foot in, he just made the sound of the engine throttling back with his mouth for the cameras. hope they throw the book at him.
Looks like , well according to Sky video , he did lift , so should escape any penalty
the official message is "Double yellow flags"
CAR 1 (VER) TIME 1:29.791 DELETED - DOUBLE YELLOW AT TURN 18
But onboard does show he lifted, so he will just lose the lap time.

Teams are risking it, clearly going for a warm up and a flying lap, another red flag would make it intriguing
It greatly annoys more there is too much space between two of the letters in "Singapore" on the roof of the pits.
Damn Max in one giant British/British colony sandwich tomorrow.
I wrote of both Marc’s for this race nay have to change things.
Had Leclec on pole FFS

Ferrari doing a real Ferrari.
Norris IMO is up there with Leclerc as the best qualifier on the grid.
Max should be delighted with that. Being right behind his closest challenger at a track like this is huge
True, didn't expect him to get P2 but T1 with everything that surrounds him could be ..well ...interesting. At the very least I expect George to torpedo Lewis and what might result from that is anybody s guess
I had Leclerc winning , that’s not happening now.
Think Norris will be hard to beat, but his starts are not good enough .
2) Max Verstappen, Red Bull
3) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
4) George Russell, Mercedes
5) Oscar Piastri, McLaren
6) Nico Hulkenberg, Haas
7) Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin
8) Yuki Tsunoda, RB
9) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
10) Carlos Sainz, Ferrari

Let’s be honest, starting on the same row as Lando means you are starting ahead of him.
What’s so disrespectful? He’s a Ferrari reserve driver and he’s not racing for Haas this weekend.
Yuki probably drops more f-bombs in a bad race than the rest of the drivers combined over the entire race.
yeah, brilliant from lewis to wrestle that dog into p3.
Hamilton and Max will probably be both ahead of Lando after turn 1.
Until he passes them both while they re tangled up off track somewhere
I do not see that as a very unlikely scenario.Until he passes them both while they re tangled up off track somewhere
10 quid on that one.
Max being an absolute hero in this cursing farce. Dealing with it absolutely perfectly by giving nothing in official press conferences but taking time after to talk to the journos anyway.
Although its the correct stance it won't do him any favours pissing off the stewards in terms of them not letting potential bias influence them since they will be pissed off.
But fair fecks to him and to the other drivers also calling it a farce and taking the piss about it.
Not a chance he does that community service, really liked how Hamilton also said he shouldn't do it haha

I expect George will win this race. Such is the cream rising to the top
I want to say something witty in return but I don't have anything. I'll get back to you if I think of something good
Yeah same here but TBH just can’t be arsedI want to say something witty in return but I don't have anything. I'll get back to you if I think of something good
Does this old fool never shut up
Helmut Marko: "Three times we protested against McLaren's rear wing. Today the FIA made a very correct decision. McLaren's rear wing is not allowed. Now it's time to look at their front wing."

Cracking lap from verstappen. Piastri will be disappointed. Should have been a Mclaren lockout.
Will lando actually manage not to cock up a start from p1?

Why did I just know it would be RB who got Mclarens wing to be deemed illegal
There's too many average drivers getting a seat and exciting youngsters like Colapinto will probably stay stuck in F2
Least the Danny Ric obsession may finally be about to end

It's abit of a nothing burger, as the same rear wing as Baku would only have been used in last Vegas.
Full respect to Max for his media handling, feck them.
Channelling his inner Stroll in the FiA press conference
If I was Max, if I get a good start tomorrow I drive my car into turn 1 and park the thing on the inside of turn 1 and watch the chaos. Max doesn’t need to win, he just needs to stop Lando. If Piastri gets a sniff at anything, it’ll be game over for Lando as well.
The gap is too big and McLaren too incompetent for max to have to do anything other than get a solid points finish.
RedBull looking at George Russell for 2026
https://www.gpblog.com/en/category-news/rumors
Horner came up with a name very quickly that he would like to try and explore: "George Russell is out of contract at the end of next year. It would be foolish not to take that into consideration. There are other drivers, talented drivers, that could well be out of contract as well."

We all know Landos not getting off the line again, allowing Max to lead into the first corner don't we
